yea Titan X will give me about 2 months gaming.......maybe more !!!!!!!!!!!

but i've re- modded the huge Air cooler just now and i've got some passive heat sinks for it, just in case ;)

lets not forget that with the Arctic cooler that it's dead quiet and a monster Overclocker, so if the 390X isn't quite as good as we hope i can always re-fit the Artic

i might keep Titan X and buy the 390X anyway..... not sure, because i've still got the 970SLI too, i'm a Hoarder i'm not very good at selling stuff

Yeah everyone's different, no right way of doing it. I prefer to get rid of my stuff as soon as I upgrade to fund towards the next thing.

Plan on using Titan X until another card can match / beat the performance @ 1440P for a lower price, hopefully lower power consumption / heat & noise as well.

Titan X has raised the bar, but it's damn expensive. I imagine the next X80 card will be in line with TX performance so hopefully I won't need to spend so much next time. Right now though Titan X is best card for 1440P, so a necessary evil :p
 
AMD Preparing “New Graphics Launches Later This Quarter”

Read more: http://wccftech.com/amd-talk-graphics-products-quarter/#ixzz3XZSZCRPn

While that may sound like a generic statement, it’s actually quite significant. As it gives us a clear indication of when AMD intends announce its upcoming R9 300 series graphics cards. The R9 300 series and the R9 390X specifically have been subject of many rumors. One in particular however may turn out to be quite accurate.

^^ Agreed.

Unfortunately rumor is all we have for AMD atm, hence the 'possible' in the thread title.

Hopefully AMD will get around to launching some new hardware soon. Meanwhile Nvidia is killing it in sales..
 
Two AMD Fiji cards coming in June

Fiji XT and Fiji VR dual-chip

We have an update on AMD’s highly anticipated flagship GPU, codenamed Fiji.
There will be at least two Fiji cards, probably even more. The second revision of the GPU works a bit better and some of you might know that Fiji was supposed to come in Q1, but it was delayed for mid- 2015.

As far as our sources are aware, the launch date is in June or the last month of the second quarter. AMD should launch the Carrizo APU at Computex at some point after June 2nd, and we heard that Fiji might come a week or two later, if not at the same event.

Fiji XT is faster than Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 980, but it is unlikely that it will end up faster than the Geforce Titan.

I can't afford to keep graphics cards laying around. Other than my back up 7850!

+1

I sell all my surplus stuff at upgrade time. Only spare card I have now is a passive R9 270 as a backup card.

Kaap must be loaded, or some kind of eccentric child who's parents buy him all the GPU's he wants :p

If I picture what Kaap looks like I must admit I do picture this guy..

Show me an nvidia card that can beat the £530 295x2? It doesn't exist and for that price its a bargain considering its still top dog in the performance stakes dual gpu or not.

Hang on there mate, let's look at the original comment shall we..

I can't afford to spend close to £1000 on a Titan X card, which is why I use AMD graphics in my computers.

Just a heads up mate, Nvidia do sell other cards that don't cost £1000 ;)

This guy isn't aware that Nvidia sell an entire range of GPU's from low to high and even enthusiast Titan X.

Now he knows AMD aren't the only option.
 
Gerard said:
You honestly think that he never knew there were other nvidia options besides the £1000 option despite being on a site with a store since 2005 and links to dozens of reviews? :p
Click to expand...

The way I look at is this, either he was trolling, suggesting Nvidia only sell $1000 cards, or he genuinely didn't know that Nvidia cater to all budgets.

So I either called him out on his trolling, or educated him so now he knows AMD aren't the only option under $1000.

Just doing my bit :D

You clearly need to get some better glasses, as you missed my response yesterday ;)

The 390x is the card we all believe is there to have a go against the titan? It's the card I personally want, therefore I compare it against the titan, at £1000.

You've also got to bear in mind, that at present, AMD cards show a better performance in DirectX12 which is something I can personally hold on until July for :)

Ha, just read your response. Obviously my posts were meant as a joke, your original post read like Nvidia only make $1000 cards.

I agree the 980 is pricey compared to the 290X, but leading cards are always more pricey, the 970 has some lost appeal after the memory issue.

Price changes everything, at it's current price the 290X is a steal. Just don't get two unless you like being in Sahara types environments. The 290X is best price VS performance card now.

When 3XX series eventually get released, and depending on their performance I would expect a big shake-up in prices on the Nvidia side, with the 980 Ti taking the current 980 price point and the 980 dropping by a fair big chunk. Nvidia can only charge what they like when they have no competition, this will change soon. Hopefully in June.
 
8GB HBM would be ideal, I think 8GB is the sweet spot, enough for all current games and plenty of room for new ones. 12GB on the Titan X is overkill unless your running triple 4K screens, which is a possibility for that type of buyer.

Looking forward to seeing legit benchmarks of the 390X, will likely pick one up at launch to have a play. Hope it beats the Titan X, but on par would be great as well tbh.
 
Fiji XT PCB to end up significantly smaller than Radeon 290X

Mainstream card sized

A modern high end graphics card tends to be quite big. It usually needs two slots for the cooler and is between 280 and 300 mm in the length.

The Radeon R9 290X height varies between 114mm and 142mm and our sources are telling us that the Fiji XT card will end up much shorter than the 280 to 300 mm Radeon 290X.

PC gaming hosted by AMD, thats going to be Mantle type titles then lol. Also that bit about PC gaming being "inexpensive" obviously they havent seen High end PC prices.

Console gaming is inexpensive, not PC gaming. £300 for a console, £300 for a PC will buy you a half decent GPU at the higher end of things and thats all.
Click to expand...

PC gaming is cheaper than console gaming by far. (Nobody needs to by the highest end parts).

You can put together a 1080P gaming PC for peanuts, then consider that PC games are nearly half the price of console version. Over the course of a year you actually spend more on console gaming. Over 2-3 years you would save far far more.

PC gaming at entry level has never been so cheap, with console games coming to PC and costing far less. Yes PC gaming is now inexpensive.
